Posted - 11 May 2018 : 01:54:50 A question -

I'm working on a story that heavily involves Kara-Tur and the Hordelands (particularly Semphar and the Silk Road). I've purchased and read the Kara-Tur and The Horde sourcebooks, but I'm looking for the additional lore that exists.

I'm specifically interested in the years prior to the Spellplague (1359-1385), though I know there's little in the way of material in 3rd edition.

Can any of you think of sources where Kara-Tur and the Hordelands may not be the focus of the material, but where interesting nuggets of information may be found, that might not be immediately obvious?

I3-5 Desert of Desolation (has a good 1 page history of the area around Semphar)Kara-Tur Trail Map1 on 1 Adventure Gamebook: WarlordsRealmspace (just a few paragraphs on Kara-Tur spelljammers)

Technically all of the Living Jungle is set in Kara-Tur but I would consider it a separate setting.

Forgotten Realms sourcebooks sometimes make small references to Kara-Tur, but they're too many and too small to list. The Grand History of the Realms integrates and adds to the histories of some KT lands, so it's the most KT-heavy book.

Unusually, Hall of Heroes details a few Kara-Turan characters, apparently for a novel set in Kozakura that was never written.

We've got some random things developed on the Forgotten Realms Wiki, mainly the land of Koryo, the major religions, a few of the northern tribes, languages, foods, a few items, the spelljammers, and a bunch of stubby articles for the rest.http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Koryo

The problem with Kara-Tur is that there's stuff scattered all over (and even in the Kara-Tur sourcebooks themselves, you'll find information scattered all over, with information about one thing hidden in a chapter about something else). I'm probably missing a few (like short stories; I know there are a few), but:
